Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the field of computer communication systems and more particularly to computer file transfer systems.
- the problem of excessive file transfer times of known file transmitting systems, particularly with respect to very large files, is overcome by splitting the file into a plurality of component sections each of which is sent independently.
- a system of the invention includes a file splitter, for separating the computer file into component sections and a file transmitter for independently sending the component sections to the receiving computer.
- the file splitter includes a recursive splitter for splitting the computer file into smaller component sections from the larger component sections.
- the file splitter includes an initial file size selector for preselecting the maximum size for a component section and a threshold selector for stopping the recursive splitter when the size of the smallest component section is equal to or less than a minimum size for a component section.
- the threshold selector preferably includes a variable selector for changing the maximum size of the component sections in accordance with a preselected environmental variable and means for determining the environmental variable.
- a transmission controller at the transmitting computer independently controls transmission of each of the component sections of the file to the receiving computer includes a router for independently controlling the routing of the transmission of each of the component sections of the computer file. Additionally, the transmission controller includes a file compressor for independently controlling the compression of each of the component sections prior to transmission to the receiving computer.
- the transmission controller also includes a retransmitter for independently controlling the retransmission of each of the component sections in the event of transmission failure and means for concurrently transmitting each component section asynchronously relative to each other component section.

- FIG. 8 is a another portion of the composite logic flow chart showing the preferred steps for a watchdog process and completion check.
- a transmitting computer 2 sends a computer file 4 to the system 6 .
- the system 6 processes the computer file 4 through a file splitter 8 and a leaf controller 10 and transmits the results through a file transmitter 12 and network 13 .
- a file receiver and combiner 15 receives and recombines it to create an image computer file 68 .
- the image computer file 68 is then sent to the receiving computer 14 .
- the system 6 file splitter 8 has a recursive file splitter 17 , threshold selector 19 , and a transfer control database 82 of FIG. 5 .
- the computer file 4 inputs into the recursive file splitter 17 .
- the transfer control database 82 provides the initial file size of a section to the recursive file splitter 17 .
- the initial file size is based on previous transmissions.
- the recursive file splitter 17 passes the section of initial file size to the threshold selector 19 .
- the threshold selector 19 determines whether the section size is acceptable for proper transmission.
- the threshold selector 19 passes the section back to the recursive file splitter 17 which divides the section into subsections that are sent back to the threshold selector 19 which again determines whether the new section size is acceptable for proper transmission. If, instead, the size is acceptable the threshold selector 19 passes the subsection to the leaf controller 10 .
- the transfer control database 82 is a log of results from previous transmissions and transmission attempts. This log includes the size of the computer file 4 , the size of each component section, the number of component sections that compose the computer file 4 , the interval times, the number of attempted retransmissions, the time of retransmission of each component section, routing path information for each component section, and any reasons for any failure in transmission of any component section.
- the transfer control database 82 is shown internal to the file splitter 17 . The system 6 performs equally well if the transfer control database 82 is part of the system 6 but external to the file splitter 17 .
- the leaf controller has four elements.
- a results database 33 is the transfer control database 82 of FIG. 5 .
- the actual location of the transfer control database 82 need not be located inside the leaf controller 10 , but the information from the transfer control database 82 is available to the leaf controller 10 .
- the leaf controller 10 uses a central processing unit 35 to monitor the results of the file splitter 8 in FIG. 1 and the results database 33 .
- the leaf controller 10 keeps track of this information in the clean up memory 37 until the computer file 4 of FIG. 1 has been successfully transmitted to the receiving computer 14 . Once the transmission is successful the central processing unit 35 clears the clean up memory 37 .
- Stored in storage memory 39 is software that controls the central processing unit 35 of the leaf controller 10 and performs the steps of the flow chart shown in FIG. 6 .
- the file transmitter 12 of FIG. 1 is shown with a transmission controller 21 .
- the transmission controller 21 has five elements whose functions will be described in FIGS. 6, 7 , and 8 .
- the file transmitter 12 includes a router 23 , a file compressor 25 , a retransmitter 27 , an asynchronous transmit unit 29 , and a concurrent transmit unit 31 .
- the system 6 is shown in detail.
- the computer file 4 having a size on the order of 0.5 gigabit and up, is input into the system 6 from the transmitting computer 2 .
- the system 6 first splits the computer file 4 , through the file splitter 8 of FIG. 1, into component sections shown as sections 16 , 18 , and 20 and, if needed, subsections 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 , and 38 .
- the system 6 manages these sections and subsections in the leaf controller 10 of FIG. 1 . If the size of the file permits, the system 6 transmits either the sections 16 , 18 , and 20 .
- the system 6 creates and sends the subsections 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 , and 38 .
- the system 6 creates and sends a combination of both sections and subsections through a network access input 40 , network 13 , and network access output 42 .
- the leaf controller 10 manages these sections and subsections based on the recorded environmental conditions as recorded in the transfer control database 82 (shown in FIG. 5 ).
- the leaf controller 10 in one example uses multi-threaded state based entities.
- the file splitter 8 the optimal component section size that was successful that was used in a previous file transfer.
- the environmental conditions select the maximum size for a component section.
- the file splitter 8 initially sets the size of sections 16 , 18 , and 20 to the optimal size of the last file transfer. If the environmental conditions change and the sections do not transfer, the leaf controller 10 attempts to retransmit the individual sections that did not transfer correctly. If the transfer still fails, then after a given amount of retransmission attempts, the file splitter 8 begins a recursive process to find a smaller optimal size that transfers correctly. This recursive process is limited to the individual section or sections that did not transfer correctly.
- the file splitter 8 recursively generates subsections 22 , 24 , and 26 .
- the leaf controller 10 attempts to transmit the subsections 22 , 24 , and 26 . If one of the subsections is transmitted correctly the file size of the transmitted subsection is selected as the minimum size (optimal size) for a component section and the recursive process stops when the subsections are of a size equal to or less than the optimal size. Once the new optimal size has been determined for the subsections 22 , 24 , and 26 to transfer correctly, the information is sent to the transfer control database 82 of FIG. 5 . The system 6 then integrates the received sections and subsections to produce an image computer file 68 that is input to the receiving computer 14 .
- FIG. 4 only shows, for illustration purposes, a limited number of sections 16 , 18 , and 20 and subsections 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 , and 38 .
- subsections 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 , and 38 are leaf nodes because the subsections are shown in FIG. 4 to be the final component sections of the recursive process.
- Leaf nodes are end points that cannot be traversed.
- the subsections 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 , and 38 are leaf nodes.
- Optimal file size is defined as the file size of the leaf node that has the highest probability of completing a transfer from the transmitting computer 2 to the receiving computer 14 based on the environmental conditions.
- the environmental conditions include machine(s), network, and transfer heuristics.
- the transfer heuristics consists of the transfer control database 82 (shown in FIG. 5) which contains the history information for the system 6 .
- the transfer control database 82 shown in FIG. 5
- the system 6 transmits the leaf nodes simultaneously through the network access input 40 to the network access output 42 .
- the system 6 then produces the received subsections 44 , 46 , 48 , 50 , 52 , 54 , 56 , 58 , and 60 .
- the system 6 compares all the received subsections 44 , 46 , 48 , 50 , 52 , 54 , 56 , 58 , and 60 against the subsections 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 , and 38 sent. If a received subsection does not match the corresponding sent subsection, the system 6 retransmits the subsection.
- the system 6 creates the image computer file 68 .
- FIG. 4 for illustration purposes, only shows a limited number of subsections 44 , 46 , 48 , 50 , 52 , 54 , 56 , 58 , and 60 .
- the actual number of subsections that are used is determined by the conditions existing at the time of transmission.
- the recursive splitting process of the computer file 6 produces the different number of sections and subsections for the different environment conditions.
- FIG. 5 is a simple flow chart showing the steps in obtaining transfer heuristics of the system 6 .
- the transfer heuristics consists of the transfer control database 82 that contains the transfer history of the system.
- Each sectional part transfer job collects system 6 status with respect to itself and updates the transfer control database 82 .
- the transfer heuristics is checking for available space on the receiving computer 14 (referred to as the target).
- Other examples for the transfer heuristics are based on network and system performance such as elapsed time of sectional part transfer through the network, number of transmission retries, number of recursive transfer calls, number and path of transfer nodes used and final sectional part size successfully transferred.
- step 72 processing commences by checking space on the target. If there is enough space, in step 74 the process continues through junction 76 to step 86 , FIG. 6 . In step 86 , the file splitter 8 , as previously described in FIG. 2, splits very large files into N sections. If there is not enough space, decision step 74 triggers an error in step 78 and the process logs the reason for the failure in step 80 , updates the transfer control database 82 , and ends the process in step 84 .
- the file splitter 8 splits the computer file 4 into N sections in step 86 .
- the value of N is selectively determined by one of the operation environment 88 and the transfer control database 82 of FIG. 3 .
- the operational environment 88 is the information from a particular environment of interest such as a manual override of the transfer control database 82 of FIG. 5 . If such information exits decision step 90 provides that environmental parameter to step 92 which produces a value on N based on the environmental parameter. If there is no environmental parameter, decision step 90 goes to step 94 which supplies a value for N based on the transfer control database 82 of FIG. 5 . The value of N from either step 92 or step 94 is then sent to step 86 .
- the file splitter 8 splits the computer file 4 into N sections. After every split, the file splitter checks, in decision step 96 , for process completion. If the process of splitting the computer file is not complete in step 96 the process returns to step 86 , and the file splitter 8 continues to split the sections into new subsections. If the process of splitting is complete, in step 96 the resultant leaf nodes are sent to the leaf controller 10 of FIG. 1 .
- step 98 the leaf controller 10 identifies each leaf node.
- the leaf controller 10 then gets the wait interval time, in step 100 , from the transfer control database 82 in step 102 .
- the leaf controller 10 After getting the wait interval time, the leaf controller 10 then sends the information to a watchdog process in step 108 that is described in FIG. 5 . If the wait interval time has elapsed, decision step 104 sends the information to a file compressor 110 (shown in FIG. 5) in step 106 . If the wait interval time has not elapsed, the decision step 104 checks again.
- FIG. 7 is a flow chart for the packet transfer of the sections.
- the doted lines 130 represent the individual sections shown in FIG. 2 . If the wait interval time has elapsed in step 104 of FIG. 4, the packet transfer of the sections begins. If compression is needed, the sectional parts are compressed in step 10 before the initiation of the sectional part transfer in step 112 .
- decision step 114 tests to see if the file transfer was successful. If yes, the process is passed to the watchdog process in step 108 . If no, decision step 118 tests whether the threshold on retries has been achieved. This threshold is determined by the needs of the system performance. If the result of decision step 118 is no, the process first decides to re-send the packet in step 122 and then initiates a recursive sectional part transfer in step 112 .
- the process next determines if the split threshold has been exceeded in decision step 120 . If the result of decision step 120 is no, the process splits the sectional part in step 124 and initiates the sectional part transfer in step 112 . If the result of decision step 120 is yes, the process determines if the alternative route list has been exhausted in decision step 126 .
- step 126 If the result of decision step 126 is no, the process gets on alternative route in step 128 and sends the sectional part in step 112 . If the result of decision step 126 is yes, the section part transfer is stopped in step 116 and the process is sent to the watchdog process in step 108 .
- FIG. 8 is a flow chart of the watchdog process and completion check.
- the watchdog process first checks, in decision step 132 , whether the maximum transfer time has elapsed. If yes, step 134 stops the transfer of all the sectional parts. If no, process checks if any sectional parts have failed transmission in decision step 136 . If yes, step 134 stops the transfer of all the sectional parts. If no, the process continues on check if there is a manual stop request in decision step 138 . If yes, step 134 stops the transfer of all the sectional parts. If no, the process then checks if all the sectional parts have been transmitted in decision step 140 . If no, the process loops back to decision step 132 and checks if the maximum transfer time has elapsed. If yes, the process recombines all the sectional parts on the destination machine (receiving computer 14 in FIG. 1) in step 142 .
- the process then checks to see if the sectional parts have completed recombination in decision step 156 . If yes, the process transfers the log information about all the sectional part transfers to the receiving computer 14 in step 154 . If no, the process checks if the maximum transfer time has elapsed in decision step 158 . If no, the process again checks to see if the sectional parts have completed recombination in decision step 156 . If yes, the process stops the transfer of all the sectional parts in step 134 .
- step 134 logs the reason for the failure in step 144 ; removes all the sectional parts on the source machine (the transmitting computer 2 in FIG. 1 ); removes all the sectional parts on the destination machine (receiving computer 14 in FIG. 1 ); updates the transfer control database 82 in step 150 ; and stops the process in step 152 .
- the process removes all the sectional parts on the source machine (the transmitting computer 2 in FIG. 1 ); removes all the sectional parts on the destination machine (receiving computer 14 in FIG. 1 ); updates the transfer control database 82 in step 150 ; and stops the process in step 152 .
